Seventeenth Century Dubliners and their Books

Description

The Sir John T. Gilbert Commemorative Lecture, 2005

The Gilbert Lecture Series was inaugurated in 1998, the year which marked the centenary of the death of Sir John T. Gilbert. The aim of the series is to celebrate the life and work of Gilbert, and the history of Dublin, the city whose past he wished to uncover and bring before a wider public.

The eight annual lecture in the Gilbert Lecture Series, Raymond Gillespie's 'Seventeenth-century Dubliners and their Books' was delivered at Dublin City Library and Archive, Pearse Street, on 20 January 2005, and chaired by the Deputy Lord Mayor, Councillor Andrew Montague.
